musroom barley soup served in a bread bowl. breads came out a lil smaller than planned (i was trying out a new recipe, didnt make as much as i thought it would) but other than that they were good.

youre obsessed with those enokis, seems like it

yup, theyre great mushrooms...

This is for sure the absolute worst thread to go through in the last hour of work. I am starving now.

hah, i read the first half and was like WAT. then i read the rest...

yum

this dish requires a lil background info to fully appreciate it as its based around that most jewish of foods - gefilte fish. (no, not the garbage from a jar, the fresh cooked variety.) gefilte fish is usually served with chrain (ground horseradish with beets) and a slice of the carrot its cooked with on top. often with mayo as well.

so for this, ive taken the usual accompaniments and given them a bit of a modernist twist: beet fluid gel, horseradish foam, carrot pearls and a bit o dill for the requisite greenery.

dinner tonight, part one:

opener: crusty bread with edible tealight. (seasoned olive oil)





app: filbert, walnut and young ginger crusted salmon on spring mix greens, red/green butter lettuce, and persian cuke with a pomegranite/blueberry vinaigrette





soup: cream of zucchini/fennel with crispy fennel

dinner tonight, part two:

main: beef cheek cooked sous vide for 72 hours then rubbed with salt/pepper/smoked paprika/mustard powder/coriander and then smoked with apple wood for 3 hours. accompanied by celeriac puree, red wine reduction, crispy fennel, green apple skin flakes, arrowhead chips, pumpernickel crumbs, rye crumbs.




that plate got a lil cramped, i didnt have as much room on it as i thought i did, so i did another on a different plate:

edible tealight xD

everything looks and sounds awesome!
